match the example to the law of thermodynamics
a perfect crystal solid at 0 k
chemical energy being transformed to kinetic energy
not being able to put every piece of a broken glass back together
1st law of thermodynamics
3rd law of thermodynamics
2nd law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

• The first law of thermodynamics is about energy conservation. Chemical energy being transformed to kinetic energy is an example of energy conversion, which relates to the first law.
• The second law of thermodynamics is about entropy and the direction of processes. Not being able to put every piece of a broken glass back together is related to the increase in entropy (disorder), which is a concept of the second law.
• The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a perfect crystal at \(0\) K is zero. A perfect crystal solid at \(0\) K is an example of the third law.

Answer:

• Chemical energy being transformed to kinetic energy: 1st Law of Thermodynamics
• Not being able to put every piece of a broken glass back together: 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
• A perfect crystal solid at \(0\) K: 3rd Law of Thermodynamics
